Make sure that the lip on the seal is installed in the correct direction too as I have followed behind someone who didn't and the rig had a big leak.

Very good point. Its one of the biggest reasons for a leaking seal after a rebuild. I just assumed you used a rope seal but most kits these days use the lip type inserts and not a rope seal.
